/**
 * For interning (canonicalizing) things.
 * 

 * It maps any object to a unique interned version which .equals the
 * presented object.  If presented with a new object which has no
 * previous interned version, the presented object becomes the
 * interned version.  You can tell if your object has been chosen as
 * the new unique representative by checking whether o == intern(o).
 * The interners use WeakHashMap, meaning that if the only pointers
 * to an interned item are the interners' backing maps, that item can
 * still be garbage collected.  Since the gc thread can silently
 * remove things from the backing map, there's no public way to get
 * the backing map, but feel free to add one at your own risk.
 * 

 * Note that in general it is just as good or better to use the
 * static Interner.globalIntern() method rather than making an
 * instance of Interner and using the instance-level intern().
